I would like to see this article about the name Kyla, or at least some mention of it. I am interested in the name's origin, and was not expecint an article about a singer! kylet 19:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

whisper register is complete noncense...its a vocal technique not a register.

Yes, it is a register, not a technique. Since you're already here, you might as well look it up here at the Wikipedia first. --- Tito Pao 14:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious statement about "dramatic coloratura soprano"

She is Classified as Dramatic Coloratura Soprano known for her raspy and husky voice

I am disputing this statement on the following grounds:

  1. Kyla's range is way, way low for a soprano. It's more like a mezzo-soprano or an alto.
  2. The Fach system normally applies to voices of an operatic timbre. It's unlikely to be used for pop singers or for pop songs. I have a feeling that whoever inserted this statement was trying to build credibility by looking up the term from some music text book and then inserted it---right at the very first paragraph of the article.
  3. It is an unsourced statement. I can't find anything that would support this statement.

If no one else would object to these, I will delete the statement in question. --- Tito Pao 15:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

For MARIAH CAREY--"Carey is said to be able to cover all the notes from the alto vocal range leading to those of a coloratura soprano". According to you, "It's [Fach] unlikely to be used for pop singers or for pop songs". Then, please explain how to classify the vocal range of pop singers. You may watch her videos in youtube and please inform us here what her classification is. Try watching her performances of Somewhere over the Rainbow, Destiny's Child's Emotions, and Mariah's emotions. (earnesthope)

[edit] Kyla's vocal range

Kyla's highest hitted note is on her performance of Someday of Mariah Carey which is b6. So she is a soprano.

So? Can you cite references about this? --- Tito Pao 15:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

According to a video on youtube it says she has a vocal range of 4 octaves ans is a Lyric Soprano, but most of the notes featured dont sound that high/impressive. 82.25.184.162 15:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

KYLA's 4th album was "Not Your Ordinary Girl" and not "Someone to Love". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Earnesthope (talk • contribs) 11:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
